It's game one of two in the Champions League as Monaco host PSV. This is a 3rd Qualifying Round fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1200 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

The visiting PSV played their last game only three days ago, a Super Cup match. That game was also an away game, at Ajax. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
